  6. OPNFV Release 1 discussion (ChrisPriceAB, 15:13:34)
    1. Uli outlines the CI activity including the enkins environment and jobs structure (ChrisPriceAB, 15:15:03)
    2. Ready to begin to integrate toward scripts in BGS and functest (ChrisPriceAB, 15:15:29)
    3. Frank describes the demo's in the previous two weeks including Foreman & Fuel deployment tools and current status (ChrisPriceAB, 15:16:25)
    4. each project is approaching the needed functionality but with existing gaps across all projects at this time (ChrisPriceAB, 15:17:02)
    5. frankbrockners says people have preferences for multiple installers, and picking one will lead to inevitable discussions of why the other one was chosen (dneary, 15:27:39)
    6. ChrisPriceAB points out that the people working on Foreman won't start working on Fuel if it is picked as the "official" one and vice versa (dneary, 15:28:11)
    7. not that we intend to have an "official" one. (ChrisPriceAB, 15:29:24)
    8. dneary asked why the installer is in scope, since it is not part of the VIM. dlenrow replied that pure upstream are not consumable, and that is a problem we need to fix. ChrisPriceAB added that we're talking about the deployment pipeline, which is a requirement for deploying the platform and testing VNFs (dneary, 15:31:03)
    9. discussion of why we are pursuing 3 installers (and only one of everything else) for rel 1.0. Need more progress to know which of these may be included in rel 1.0 (dlenrow, 15:32:46)
    10. discussed release timing. Key milestone is availability of LF hardware lab. Mid March is expected. Will need several weeks after availability of hardware for release. (dlenrow, 15:34:13)
    11. Target date for OPNFV hardware @LF lab is March 15th (rpaik, 15:34:42)
    12. we need deployment tools around March 15th, but this could be a challenge (rpaik, 15:36:07)
    13. ChrisP proposed 6 weeks (plus easter week) after HW available to be able to pull release together. That lands on April 23 (dlenrow, 15:36:45)
    14. ChrisP noted that intention is to maintain 6 month cadence for releases (rpaik, 15:38:18)
    15. dlenrow asks about the impact of not hitting our target dates (ChrisPriceAB, 15:39:36)
    16. HKirksey answers that we should strive to demonstrate our ability to meet our targets (ChrisPriceAB, 15:40:05)
    17. Uli Kleber (ulik, 15:41:28)
    18. Ashiq Khan (Ashiq, 15:42:28)
    19. deployment tool chain is a critical item, and we would not necessarily gain anything by focusing only on one particular installer (rpaik, 15:44:17)
    20. Frank outlines that the deployment toolchains need to be fully automated and none of the current approaches has done that yet. (ChrisPriceAB, 15:54:49)
    21. frankbrockners asks what are the expectations outside of OPNFV and how much do we care about disappointing people (dneary, 15:55:55)

    23. CableLabs intends to consume the OPNFV platform (ChrisPriceAB, 15:57:30)
    24. Hui indicates China Mobile would like to use OPNFV release 1 for deployment of a PoC in July (ChrisPriceAB, 15:58:54)
    25. Comments that even if it’s not feature-rich (e.g. missing HA), having an early release maybe preferred. (rpaik, 16:01:03)
    26. April 23rd is the currently discussed release date for OPNFV release 1 (ChrisPriceAB, 16:04:34)
    27. Mike asks if there is a concrete date on the definition of the target configuration. (ChrisPriceAB, 16:05:05)

    29. https://wiki.opnfv.org/opendaylight_quickstack_guide (dneary, 16:09:41)
    30. Heather asks for TSC members to comment on the proposed release date (ChrisPriceAB, 16:13:02)
    31. Uli indicates the risk is fundamentally associated with BGS (ChrisPriceAB, 16:13:22)
    32. Frank indicates each of the BGS teams would like more time (ChrisPriceAB, 16:13:45)
    33. Frank counter proposes with April 30th (ChrisPriceAB, 16:14:43)
    34. BGS team would feel more comfortable with a TARGET date of April 30th (rpaik, 16:14:44)

    37. ChrisPriceAB: We want people to experiment, give an opportunity to participate (dneary, 16:29:25)
